Frequently Asked Questions

What is payroll security?

Payroll security refers to the measures a company must take to protect its payroll data and financial assets from potential threats, such as fraud, data breaches, and unauthorised access. It requires the implementation of numerous safeguards, including safe data handling practices, a secure IT infrastructure, and strong security policies and procedures.

What is payroll abuse?

Payroll abuse (also known as payroll fraud) occurs when an employee or a malicious party exploits vulnerabilities in a company’s financial management system to misappropriate funds.

What are the risks in payroll?

There are numerous risks in payroll, such as:

  • Inaccurate calculation of taxes

  • Non-compliance with local labour laws

  • Cyberattacks

  • Human error

  • Inaccurate record-keeping

If your organisation is international, it’s essential to be aware of and comply with the payroll regulations and tax systems in your employees’ countries. Failure to do so can result in hefty penalties and fines, as well as reputational damage.

If you’re outsourcing to an unknown third-party payroll provider, you may also face risks such as loss of control, data breaches, poor service quality, or non-compliance with regulations by that third party. This is why it’s crucial to outsource to a trusted, reliable provider.

Finally, you should be aware of internal fraud risks, including:

  • “Ghost” employees

  • Falsified hours

  • Inflated commission schemes

  • Pay rate manipulation or alteration

What is the most common payroll security breach?

Payroll records can be compromised in a number of ways. They can fall into the wrong hands due to insider threats (e.g., data theft by a disgruntled employee), or through external attacks. If your company uses outdated systems with known vulnerabilities, you may be particularly susceptible to such threats.

Many breaches occur as a result of the following methods: 

  1. Phishing attacks. Attackers can trick payroll team employees into revealing their login credentials, giving them unauthorised access to payroll systems.

  2. Malicious software. Malware and viruses can damage systems, steal data, or simply disrupt payroll processes.

  3. Ransomware attacks. This involves malicious software that infiltrates and encrypts your data. The attacker usually then demands a substantial ransom payment to restore system access.

How do you secure payroll?

To secure your payroll, you need to implement comprehensive security measures, including:

  • Strong encryption

  • Multi-factor authentication

  • Strict access control

  • Robust firewalls

If you’re outsourcing payroll, you need to ensure that your chosen platform is regularly updated and well supported, and that ISO-standard security protocols are in place. You should also regularly educate your people on best security practices, such as how to create strong passwords and how to recognise phishing attempts.

Finally, you should assess the ongoing effectiveness of your security by conducting periodic audits and risk assessments.
